In the book the Tragedy of romeo and Juliet all of the characters had a role to play in the deaths of the six characters, but i have three that stand out to me the most. My first character is the father of Juliet, Lord Capulet, my second character is Paris, and my third character is Friar Laurence. These Characters stood out to me the most because of how each one meaning to do the right thing ended up being a little piece in a big puzzle towards the deaths of these six characters. In Act 1 scene 1, page 30 A fight had just broke out between some guards from both families and Lord Capulet arrived to the sight of Lord Montague and said to his wife ( (Shakepshere 303) Lord Capulet- what noise is this? Give me my long sword, ho!Lady …show more content…
In Act 2 scene 5, page 148-150 Romeo had came to Friar Laurence and asked him to marry him and Juliet and he agreed to do so ( ()Friar Lawrence- So smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after-hours with sorrow chide us not!) In doing this Lord Capulet found out and a big fight occurred causing Romeo to be banished. This then causes the death of Lady Montague. In Act 5 scene 3, page 234 Juliet comes to Friar Laurence and asked him to help her get out of the marriage with Paris and Help her to get Romeo back so he decides to give her a potion to help. (Friar Lawrence- hold, daughter! i do spy a kind of hope, which craves as desperate and execution as that is desperate which we would prevent. If, rather than to marry county Paris, thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself,then is it likely thou wilt undertake a thing like death to chide away this shame, that cop'st with death himself to 'scape from it; and, if thou dar'st, ill give thee remedy.) After receiving the potion Juliet uses it tricking everybody into thinking shes dead even Romeo. Friar Laurence then is told Romeo dint get the letter and decided to go to the tomb. When he arrived Romeo and Paris were dead. After Juliet killed herself Friar Laurence explained that he went through with all this admitting that he did it to get the families to stop
Friar Laurence was a huge character in the book, but is thought to be the one who killed Romeo and Juliet. The friar was the one who had the idea and the one to marry them. The friar married them to help end the feuds between their families, but it only ended their lives. They were so in love they would do anything for each other, including dying for each other. “Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament They are but beggars that can count their worth.
The death of Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy for the whole city of Verona, but the important question is who, or what caused their deaths. The person I believe, who caused the death of Romeo and Juliet was Rome’s own servant, Balthasar. Even though his actions were unintentional, he still ruined Friar Laurence’s plan by telling Romeo that Juliet had died. Balthasar was responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths because he ruined Friar Laurence’s plan by telling Romeo of Juliet’s Death. Balthasar tells Romeo that “her body sleeps in Capel's monument, and her immortal part with angels lives.
In Romeo and Juliet, about twenty-six percent of the characters died. Romeo and Juliet, who were star-crossed lovers died early in their lives, but who was to blame? As stated in William Shakespeare in “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet,” Friar Lawrence, the towns Friar, married the two lovers right from the start. It was secretive however, because their families were enemies and they did not want them to be together. Friar Lawrence said, “Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear,.
In a modern society, one is normally accustomed to having a caring and loving parental figure. Unfortunately, some situations motivate these individuals to make irrational decisions that are based more on impulse and ignorance rather than responsibility and practicality. As a result, these decisions may lead to undesirable consequences. In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the deaths of the two lovers is directly blamed on Friar Laurence. When examining his irresponsible choices that eventually led to the parish of the two naive lovers, this will become evident.
Friar Laurence,Helpfulness,and the marriage of Romeo and Juliet are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare’s play are both tragic and romantic. Although much could have been done to prevent their suicides, these “star-crossed lovers” ultimately are not able to avoid their destiny. A series of unfortunate circumstances result in disaster,and even though many people could be to blame for their deaths,Friar Laurence,Helpfulness,and the marriage of Romeo and Juliet play a particularly integral role.
The final reason that the Friar was responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet was that he leaves Juliet in the tomb by herself. Shortly after Romeo drinks the poison Juliet
The blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet in Romeo and Juliet is on Friar Lawrence. He is the cause because of the actions and decisions he made and showed through out the novel. Actions such as keeping Romeo and Juliet’s marriage in secret eventually led to both of their deaths. Another action that led to the two lover’s death is Friar Lawrence faking Juliet’s death.
Romeo did not know about the arrangement and wasn't given a decent explanation, so he believed Juliet was truly dead. This is shown in Document C, third note, "Now married to Romeo, Juliet asks Friar Laurence to help her avoid marrying Paris. The remedy is Friar Laurence's plan for Juliet to fake her own death." Other evidence was given in Document E, second note, "Friar Laurence is unable to deliver the letter informing Romeo that Juliet is not actually dead." Without proper clarification, Romeo has decided to kill himself by drinking poison.
“Oh happy dagger!” (Shakespeare, p. 1141, 2012) Juliet exclaimed as she plunged a dagger into her chest, ending her life. Just moments previous, Romeo had done likewise by drinking a powerful poison which was said to kill twenty men. Both deaths were tragic losses for the fair community of Verona, a medieval city used by William Shakespeare to stage his story of the two lovers of Verona, in a play called Romeo and Juliet.
In the story of “The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”, their death lies upon three people to blame in the city of Verona. The three are Lady Capulet, Juliet’s mother, second is Friar Lawrence the botanist, and the third one is the feud between the two families of Montague and Capulet. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is the Capulet. The first person to blame the death of Romeo and Juliet is Lady Capulet, Juliet’s mother. Juliet does not wish or had thought about getting married so quickly.
Romeos and Juliets Death Romeo and Juliet is a tragic play about two love-struck teens that eventually falls in love.

In conclusion, they have all pitched in a little for the couples death. Friar Laurence gave Juliet the potion. Lord Capulet threatens Juliet to marry Paris. Paris is the cause Juliet drank the potion. Giving all this information those three characters that must be
I believe that The Feud, Friar Lawrence and Tybalt all play a role in Romeo and Juliet's death. The Feud between the families was quite major and with Romeo (a Montague) and Juliet (a Capulet) falling in the love, it made it even worse. The families of Romeo and Juliet didn't support their love and if there wasn't a feud between the Montague's and Capulet's, Friar Lawrence wouldn't have had to create a plan to hide their marriage. Friar Lawrence played a big role in Romeo and Juliet's relationship and his actions ultimately lead to the death of the two. He marries the two behind their families back, creates a potion for Juliet to fake her death and fled Juliet at her tomb, where she then killed herself.
He, meanwhile would send a note to Romeo informing him of the hoax that was being perpetrated on the Capulets and Paris, and asking Romeo to meet him at the graveyard where Juliet would greeted them alive and well. Unfortunately, the message never arrived. This was revealed when Friar John told Friar Laurence, " I could not send it, here it is again / Nor get a messenger to bring it thee" (5.2.14-15). Friar Laurence had not told the messenger the importance of the letter reaching Romeo. And, if Friar Laurence had followed the original agreement he made with Romeo: "Sojourn in Mantua; I 'll find out your man, /
The tale of Romeo and Juliet ends with the death of the two lovers. But there is a reason behind their passing. Friar Lawrence, a priest in Verona, had a big part of the play, and may be the reason for Romeo and Juliet to lay still forever in their graves. The friar was the one that devised the plan to fake Juliet’s death, but ran away in cowardice when he was afraid.
